Matt Gaetz withdraws from attorney general consideration amid misconduct allegations

Matt Gaetz has withdrawn his name from consideration for U.S. attorney general amid misconduct allegations, including claims of sexual abuse. His nomination by President-elect Donald Trump faced significant controversy and scrutiny. Fox News analyst Ben Domenech criticized Gaetz, stating he is "unqualified" for any role, including babysitting. He noted that Gaetz's withdrawal was likely due to insufficient Senate support for confirmation. Following Gaetz's exit, Trump nominated former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi for the position. Gaetz expressed support for Bondi, stating she would bring necessary reforms to the Department of Justice.
